no need to feel like a failure - you have been a success already in a different area with different people
once you're out of there, your perspective will likely improve
is there anyone in the new place who is nice to be around?
{sometimes it's just not a pleasant atmosphere, and it's not your fault}
I think I understand what you're going through. I have worked OB for several years and thought a new position in NICU in a different hospital might be a nice change a few years ago. I was wrong! I didn't realize how much I would miss my old job. I did the new job for 2 miserable weeks, tucked my tail between my legs, came clean with the new boss that I needed to go back to my old job (which was an option, thankfully), and left. It was a little embarrasing but it was such a relief once I did it. I've never regretted going back!
No job is perfect but when you find your "niche"...
Good Luck!
God Bless!

This is a little complicated. I have always worked in peds, most specifically peds oncology and a peds clinic. I recently accepted a position in post-partum and I am miserable. The staff is rude to the patients, I've gotten a horrible orientation with a multitude of preceptors, and my manager hasn't even acknowledged me. I honestly do not want to go back. Would I be making a huge mistake to leave this position..I took it primarily for the pay and to do something happier. My parents recently passed away and I just needed a change. Now I think I just want to work in the peds clinic to get my bearings back...and I do miss the kids....a lot. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!
